SKIP TO 1:00

I think there was a little wheel spin!

its just ken block

i like this

Gosh damn that'd be sweet to have a Subaru Impreza WRX!

the only subaru part on that car is the fiberglass shell, its a rear wheel drive car ur never doing that in a AWD subu, if you wanna drift car, invest $3000 on a 240sx

They can still be drifted, but actually getting it whipped out and keeping control is much harder since it will want to grab. Plus that was a AWD car dude. You can see the front wheels sit there and spin. And I wouldn't even want a 240sx, would rather just invest in a RWD BMW.

Too bad Ken Block doesn't drive a Subaru anymore. And gymkhana is sick I remember watching them as DC uploaded them. :p

No you're entirely wrong, from being wrong to almost looking like a dumbass wrong. The engine in this particular car is manufactured by Subaru, as well as most major components and the car is AWD. Now this video is quite old and Ken Block now runs with Ford in their Fiesta.

And the same thing applies to them. They receive a base Ford Fiesta and build it. They remove every single thing from the car including sound deadening, then they clean up the base metal, weld in the roll cage, clean up the welds and paint the interior. They also mount the seats a bit behind where the b-pillar is mainly for gravity(center of gravity). Now to compensate for that they have a longer steering column, and then the pedal box is adjusted and mounted for Ken. Then they work on the door panels which are basically carbon fiber, then the dashboard and center console is also made out of carbon fiber.

All the while another group is building the engine and working on the engine bay, transmission tunnel, firewall and relocating the radiator and battery to the back of the car near the rear hatch. Now as you should know a four banger is usually mounted in a car transversely, however in rally cars they are mounted longitudinally for more room and better center of gravity, as well as support for an AWD drivetrain. And of course the intercooler is located in the front. Obviously they have people working on suspension, brakes, brake ducts and wheels etc. And don't forget the fuel cell, fuses, the buttons and toggle switches which activate/deactivate various things such as an ALS. And most panels such as the bumpers, and hood are made of carbon kevlar.

Now if he wants to swap between a rallycross/rally setup to a gymkhana setup it takes them only a few hours to do so. And fun fact the reason why these AWD vehicles drift is because that 'handbrake' he pulls disconnects the differential mechanically, then disconnects the center differential which causes the rear wheels to stop thus causing the back end to whip around.

I could have gone full out and entailed just about everything that is done to these cars but I don't feel like typing out about five thousand words. So the statement 'its a rear wheel drive car' is 100% wrong, as well as other statements.

It's not easy to drift a stock Subaru, but it isn't impossible either. The car is do damn grippy so it's a bit of a challenge to whip the rear out. But, this is Ken Block in a HEAVILY modified Suby, so yea.. easy to drift. He's a damn good driver, too. People hate on him so much, but I just can't see why. Jealousy, maybe?

On a slightly similar note, I can't get enough of that boxer engine.

That isn't drifting.

Drifting it done by RWD (rear wheel drive) cars only. That is 4WD (four wheel drive)


This is drifting;





inb4 you know nothing. I'm a massive fan of D1, BDC, EDC and a somewhat drifter myself.
